Cut Your Coat ...

I tell you a story, but it's up to you, to read it as fiction or read it as true ... I tell it in rhyme ... I tell it in verse, but thoughts on this matter, I'm sure are diverse. :-D

From A Bua, With Love

From a Bua, with love,

Jarvis Lloyd Marcedo 

I remember a little boy

With dimples, oh so deep

A shy, endearing smile 

Fried 'Idlys', he loved to eat.

I remember that little boy

I walked home from pre-primary school

And we shared a little ditty

That we sure sang in tune.

I remember that little boy

School work he did not like 

(who does :-D )

He loved all those ‘little boy’ things

He was an adorable tyke.

I remember that little boy

Oh, he was so small

And now just look at him

He’s well-built and oh so tall,

With the soul of a bard

And a voice that’s quite a treat

A smile that is still shy

And dimples, that are still deep.

- Jacqui ( Jacqueline Marcedo-Paul )
